Oracle doesn't do it by itself.You have to schedule a job to do this as part of housekeeping.Can also include old trace file & trimming of alert log & listener log in the housekeeping.

Subject: Automated removal of archive logs
Hello All,
Oracle 9.2.0.7
Windows 2003
What determines when old archive logs are removed/purged from the
archive_log_dest? Is this something that can be set in Oracle via an
init.ora param, or do I need to schedule a job to run that removes files
older than a number of days from that directory....etc.
Thank you,
Martin
